Default Re: Suggestions for more informative messages

There was a battle in Ipriscia Change this to "We won a battle in Ipriscia"/"We lost a battle in Ipriscia" respectively, then tack on "No/few/some/large/massive casualties" at the end where the adjective depends on the per centage of the units lost. Few, < 5%, some, 5 - 10%, large 10-25%, massive >25%

I'm strongly against this suggestion. A big pleasure for me is the suspense and it would be gone with this change. Except if I'm sure to win, I always click on "View Battle" before opening the messages, I for sure don't want to know the result before.

I would even like to have an option to disable the messages like "your commander has found a magical item" and "a message from (AI nation)" (you have killed our god...) that may kill suspense in some cases.

I find the others ideas good.

PS : but I support more informations *inside* the battle messages : list of killed troops, killed commanders, a real battle report when you storm a castle, etc...
